A bag (with a bag)


This was taken at the end of the first day of Union's trading. It's the contents of the recycling bin we've provided for our customers to return our used takeaway packaging in - from day one, it's worked. I'm so incredibly happy with this. Things got better as the week went on, too - by Wednesday, we had to replace the binbag, and each day since then, I've been stuffing two binbags into our compost collection bin outside.

We're getting our food waste uplifted and composted by the Cyrenians. They'll collect twice per week, and they've made it really easy for us to do. Which is great, as it looks as if this is something which will run and run. And so it should. If a tiny start-up cafe can offer this service, so can anyone.

That's a gauntlet, Starbucks, Costa, Nero and the rest of you. A huge great clanging gauntlet.
